The next day, someone in the palace spread the rumor that the Prince Regent had been ambushed and was now seriously injured, and his life might be in danger at any time.
I heard that this news came from the Night King, and it is reliable.
Ci'an Palace naturally also received the news. At noon, Ah Fu was seen hurriedly leaving the palace. When he came back, he brought Sun Fang'er into the palace.
Sun Fang'er stayed in the palace for more than an hour, and then Ah Fu sent her away. But that night, Ah Fu did not come back.
The next morning, Zi'an went to Ci'an Palace to burn incense for the Empress Dowager.
The whole Ci'an Palace was filled with a smell that made her disgusted.
It smells like vinegar.
The whole palace was filled with this smell. From the moment you entered the palace gate to the inner hall, it was filled with a sour and stinky smell.
Zi'an remembered that Murong Jie always asked her to drink vinegar, and Aunt Ashe also asked her to drink vinegar. Could it be that the detoxification can be connected with vinegar
After she burned incense, she asked to see the noble concubine.
The noble concubine did not meet her but stayed in the bedroom.
Zi'an didn't see her, so he naturally didn't give up and broke into the bedroom.
"Xia Zian, you are so brave!" The noble concubine was already restless, and when she saw Xia Zian rushing in, her face suddenly changed and she scolded him.
"Your Majesty!" Zi'an looked at her, "I came here to tell you something."
"I don't want to hear about your affairs, get out!" the noble concubine said sternly.
Zi'an found that the smell of vinegar in the bedroom was even stronger. She looked at the table and saw a bowl of brown substance on the table, which was probably aged vinegar.
Next to the vinegar was a small bowl with what seemed to be a few drops of solidified blood on it.
Is she really the mother Gu
But is it so easy to cure the poison? Just drink vinegar and Sun Fang'er's blood
When the noble concubine saw her looking around, she immediately called the guards and said, "Drive her out."
Zi'an said, "Since the noble concubine is unwilling to talk to me, I will leave."
She was so furious that it seemed as if she was really angry and embarrassed. It seemed that what Sun Fang'er said was true, she was a female Gu.
At the same time, the news that Murong Jie was seriously injured on the battlefield was also passed on to King Nan Huai by "someone with ulterior motives". He had just arrived at Qiao Town and when he heard the news, he ordered people to investigate the authenticity immediately, but there was no other movement.
The secret guard also conveyed King Nan Huai's reaction to Zi'an, and Zi'an had a rough idea in his mind.
She went out of the palace and found Xia Lin.
On the evening of the third day after Prince Nan Huai left the capital, the Imperial Concubine summoned Sun Fang'er to the palace. As usual, the old lady came early in the morning. Concubine Noble was uncharacteristically disliked today and instead of showing any disgust, she invited her to stay and have dinner together in Ci'an Palace.
We chatted and laughed during the meal, and there was not a single bit of unhappiness.
After dinner, the old lady was about to leave. The noble concubine stood up to see her off. She held the old lady's hand at the door and sighed softly: "Hearing the old lady's words today, I have suddenly realized what I want in my life. What is it that people want in their lives? Well, I was too obsessed in the past. Now that the eighth son has returned to the South, I will repair the mother-son relationship with the seventh son."
The old lady looked at her. What did she mean by these words? She had never said any great truths during the meal just now. The so-called "listening to your words and suddenly having an epiphany" did not exist at all.
The old lady was about to ask back when a murderous aura suddenly filled the air.
As a veteran warrior on the battlefield for many years, she was very familiar with this murderous aura.
Her first reaction was that the Imperial Concubine had hired someone to kill her, but when she saw the man in black flying down from the roof and stabbing straight at the Imperial Concubine, she knew she was wrong.
"Help come, there's an assassin!" Ah Fu shouted sharply, and came up with sword in hand to fight with the man in black.
These men in black were able to hide on the roof of Ci'an Palace, which shows their extraordinary martial arts skills.
The old lady waved her dragon-headed cane and started fighting with the two men in black. Although she was old, she probably had not given up her martial arts skills over the years. Her moves were swift and efficient, and the dragon-headed cane flew around like a gust of wind, each of them deadly.
Sun Fang'er protected the noble concubine and retreated into the palace. There was no expression on Sun Fang'er's face. She knew who sent the killer.
She turned around and said, "Don't panic, Concubine..."
She was stunned and felt a pain in her abdomen. She lowered her head with difficulty and saw a dagger stuck in her abdomen. She reached out and wiped it, and her hand was covered in blood.
She slowly raised her head and saw the hideous and smug face of the noble concubine, "Why?"
The noble concubine sneered, "What do you think?"
Sun Fang'er shook her head. "The fate poison hasn't been solved yet, and you want to kill me?"
"The mother Gu of the same fate Gu is not in Ai's body, but in Lao Ba's body."
Sun Fanger staggered back a step, her face pale, "No, it's on you."
"I didn't drink the mother Gu wine, it was the eighth brother who drank it, and he didn't even know it. Do you think I'm stupid? He used the same-life Gu to restrain the seventh brother, but took the risk of becoming the mother Gu himself." The noble concubine said coldly.
"Impossible, then why did you let me into the palace to remove the poison yesterday?" Sun Fang'er remembered that she saw her drink the poisonous wine with her own eyes.
"If not, how could Xia Zian think that I am the mother Gu? Since I am the mother Gu, would she still show mercy to Lao Ba's men? Once Lao Ba dies, Murong Jie must die. His injury was fake, but it will become real this time."
Sun Fang'er gasped, "So you knew that the prince would send out assassins?"
"That's right. He asked me to give Lady Chen a five-day-old poisonous insect and also let me take it. If I failed to poison her, he would send out assassins. This child is so stupid. Is it possible that there has been no one from my side around him for so many years?" The noble concubine clicked her tongue and shook her head. Suddenly, her face turned cold. She pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Sun Fang'er's heart.
Before the dagger reached her heart, Sun Fang'er grabbed her hand tightly and fought against her.
"You set up such a big trap just to kill me?" Sun Fang'er trembled all over. Although she knew that the noble concubine had far-reaching plans, she didn't know she had planned to go this far.
"You are wrong. I am not going to kill you. I only want to kill Lady Chen. As for you..." The noble concubine sneered, "You should die too."
Sun Fang'er used all her strength to hold on, but she was exhausted by the wound in her abdomen. Her palm grasped the blade of the dagger, and blood dripped down. She was confused and puzzled, "No, no, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. Prince Nan Huai and the Regent are both dead. What hope do you have?"
"If I can't even rely on my own son, then who can I rely on? The Seventh Prince is young. Help him up, and I will be the Grand Empress Dowager."
"You think too little of Concubine Yi. How could she be under your control?"
"She is just a lowly Xianbei woman. If it weren't for me, she would be just a Qinlou girl now." The noble concubine suddenly became mad and stabbed her heart with all her strength.
Sun Fang'er fell backwards, with the dagger slashing across her left chest.
When the noble concubine wanted to attack again, the guards and the old lady were unable to resist and the men in black attacked.
The noble concubine dropped the dagger, sneered, and looked at the man in black who was approaching step by step. She raised her hand and the powder scattered. The man in black had his face covered and he inhaled the powder in the blink of an eye.
